(Al-Bashir’s party) proposes a vision for dialogue and to enable Army to rule (for an agreed-upon period)

An internal vision of the National Congress Party (NC) revealed the party’s intention to establish constitutional legitimacy that would enable the army to obtain a popular mandate to assume the presidency of the country for an agreed-upon period, and to initiate a Sudanese political and social dialogue.

The vision, entitled: (Proposed Future Agenda for Today and the Next Day), proposed returning to the 2005 Constitutiona, accommodate the Juba Agreement within constitutional amedments.

The vision, which (Sudan Tribune) reviewed, stressed that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia should not have any military or political future, with its commanderships being held accountable, as well as the Forces of Freedom and Change and “Tagadum” Alliance, as the political wing of the militia.

The paper, which was circulated to some members, indicated the need to establish foreign relations based on the countries’ positions on the war in Sudan.

The paper announced that the party is working on completing a deep review of its experience in the rule of Sudan, while it refrained from engaging in the party leadership conflict and was content to describe what is happening as “limited tensions.” The vision implicitly acknowledged the popular protests that toppled Al-Bashir’s rule in 2019 and defended what it described as putting the interests of the nation above the interests of the party, adding, “We reserve the right for each party to describe and name what happened in 2019.”
